The search for a technique that can measure local viscoelastic properties with nanoscale or molecular resolution on soft heterogeneous materials such as polymers has been challenging. Now, scientists ...

What are the differences between nanoscale and bulk phases? What are the viscoelastic properties in an interphase or next to an interface? What is the impact of these properties on load transfer, as a ...

Biomolecular condensates age into viscoelastic solids The group further probed how condensates age, changing their material properties over time. Prior work in the field focused on how proteins within ...

An interview with Prof. Manfred Radmacher, Universität Bremen conducted by April Cashin-Garbutt, MA (Cantab). Can you please give a brief history of the use of AFM to study cell mechanics in order to ...

Over the last three decades, the rubber process analyzer has evolved as the processability test instrument of choice for measuring and solving many rubber factory problems. Now there are several ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Liquid droplets of protein and RNA have traits reminiscent of a childhood joy: Silly Putty. That’s according to a study by scientists at the University at Buffalo and Iowa State ...

Lignin in the cell walls of woody tissue has a much lower crosslink density in tobacco wood than in tree wood. This causes tobacco wood to show very different viscoelastic behaviour. With the aid of ...

the rubber industry for a large variety of tire applications. In order to improve the understanding of the achievable performance, tread enhancement additives from different chemical classes have been ...
